Windows 10: How to trace WebNavigatorBrowser malware installation

Recently I had to remove WebNavigatorBrowser malware. I used Malwarebytes MS Safety Scanner quick scan did not remove it to remove it. However, I wonder how it got installed in the first place when user did not even have rights to install software on their own. User has a standard account with no admin rights.

Steps I took to trace how WebNavigatorBrowser might have got installed:

1. I checked event viewer application & system logs did not find any clue. Filtered the logs the date it got installed no clue. Filtered event using event ID 11707, no clue.
2. Nothing I found in Microsoft store download/installed history, no clue of WebNavigatorBrowser
3. Checked extensions in Chrome & other browsers, no trace of WebNavigatorBrowser

What other tools or steps I could try to trace how it got installed?

This happened on Win 10 Prox64

Traces

Trace malware is a detection which typically indicates harmless pieces of leftovers also known
as remnants (registry keys, file fragments, folders) generally found after cleaning a previous malware infection. Traces are typically useless and not dangerous since the primary malicious file(s) has been removed. A
Malware.Trace detection is just another name used by Malwarebytes, SUPERAntiSpyware and other security vendors for trace malware.
